Made on a moderate budget, the film had a slow start and failed to grow thereafter. As a result, it has emerged as a failure, and its total collection after 4 days is below the 10 crore mark. Keep reading for a detailed report!<\/p>\n<p>How much did Vaa Vaathiyaar earn at the Indian box office in 4 days?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/hits-flops\/kollywood-tamil-box-office-collection-verdicts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kollywood<\/a> action-comedy entertainer opened to mixed reviews from critics, and the reception among the ticket-buying audience is mixed as well. Due to such a reception, the film failed to gather any momentum and made highly disappointing earnings. Coming to the latest collection update, it earned just 1.45 crores on its first Saturday, day 4. Overall, the film has earned 7 crore net at the Indian box office, as per Sacnilk. It equals 8.26 crore gross.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the day-wise collection breakdown:<\/p>\n<p>Day 1 \u2013 1.65 crores<br \/>\nDay 2 \u2013 2.35 crores<br \/>\nDay 3 \u2013 1.55 crores<br \/>\nDay 4 \u2013 1.45 crores<\/p>\n<p>Total \u2013 7 crores<\/p>\n<p>Vaa Vaathiyaar is a flop!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Made on a moderate budget of 40 crores, Vaa Vaathiyaar needed a net collection of 40 crores to enter the safe zone and avoid being a failure. Considering the film has earned only 7 crore net in the first four days, despite the holiday benefit, it\u2019s clear the run post-opening weekend will be disastrous, and there\u2019s no scope for a bounce back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the present position, Vaa Vaathiyaar will struggle to even touch the 20 crore mark at the Indian box office. So, as per Koimoi\u2019s parameters, it has already secured a flop verdict.<\/p>\n<p>More about the film<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Kollywood action-comedy entertainer released in theaters on January 14.
